THOMAS C. CANDLISH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SAFETY PIN TICKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 6, 1911.

Patented July 2, 1912. Serial No. 647,981.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS CHARLES CANDLIsH, a citizen of the United States,

residing in the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Pin-Tickets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in safety pin-tickets; and an object of this invention is to provide a pin-ticket of the character set forth which will be simple in construction, comparatively cheap in manufacture and most efficient, safe and reliable in operation and use.

In the drawings illustrating the principle of this invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure 1 shows the pin-ticket extended and unfolded; Fig. 2 is a section on the line AA of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a rear view of the pin-ticket folded; Fig. 4 is a section on the line BB of Fig. 3; Figs. 5 and 6 are views showing the pin-ticket pinned in place upon the cloth; and Fig. 7 is a section on the line CC of Fig. 6.

Near one end of the body portion a of the pin-ticket there is fastened in any suitable manner the head of the pin 6. The flap or tab portion 0 of the ticket is integral with the body portion a and in use is folded upon the latter along the dotted line cl, Fig. 1. The tab 0 is formed with a recess 6 and in the folded position of the tab (Figs. 3 and 6), the pin 6 extends across this recess and the pointed end of the pin lies securely held within the fold. The free end of the tab or flap 0 is formed with a laterally-extending lip f which, when the ticket is fastened in place, overlies the head of the pin and extends between the top end of the ticket and the cloth 9 and thereby serves to lock the pin-ticket securely in place by locking the tab in folded position (Figs. 6 and 7). To release the .same, the lip is uncovered until it is free from the portion of the cloth held by the pin, after which the tab may be unfolded and the ticket removed, if desired.

I claim:

A safety pin-ticket having a body portion, a pin suitably fastened therein and a tab integral with and adapted to be folded upon the body portion; said tab being formed with a laterally-extending lip which is separated from the base of the tab by an open space through which is exposed a part of said pin free to be engaged by the cloth, with the latter overlying said lip and thereby locking the tab in its folded position.

Signed at New York city, New-York, this fifth day of September, 1911, in the presence of the two undersigned witnesses.

THOS. C. CANDLISH. Witnesses JAMES HAMILTON, E. I. MCCARTHY.
